Usual Places

The black and white video, which was directed by Daniel Lillie, was shot at The Marquis of Lorne in London and is largely a performance video with the band performing in the bar as regulars at the bar interact around them. It leans into themes of nostalgia, routine, and emotional familiarity, reflecting the song’s focus on returning to the same environments and relationships, even as time moves on. Tim Wheeler said of the video:

Originally written as a tribute to long forgotten bars and faces as I was leaving New York, “Usual Places” took on extra significance as the first thing we worked on together post-lockdown. Below the surface of the joy of writing and playing together again, there’s a subconscious grief to all that was lost in those years. Friends and family, pubs and venues. This is our eulogy to them all. No coincidence the video was shot in the Marquis of Lorne, just a walk from Brixton Academy.
